If you believe in heaven...

then I have a question for you. When we die and go to heaven, do we stay exactly as we were when we died? For instance, if a 100 year old went to heaven, would they still have the abilities of a 100 year old, or would they revert to a younger time in their life? If a baby died, would they be a baby in heaven, needing to be cared for for all eternity? Or do they become a spirit form where age has no boundaries, where all are the same?

No one knows for sure but my opinion is that Heaven is an altered state of existance where you're not bound to the physical body. Here's one to think about. My husband is a widower so when he and I and his late wife are all in heaven, will there be two of him or will we have to share?

Ah yes, I've wondered that myself.

Whether someone believes in heaven or not, it is IMPOSSIBLE for us mortals to ever know.

I don't know if i realy believe that. The bible says that to get to Heaven, we must get new bodies. It says that there is a difference between terrestrial or earthly bodies and celestrial or heavenly bodies. It says earthly bodies cannot survive in heaven and that in God's presence these bodies would disolve. Interesting, huh?

Interesting! I would like to think that we go to heaven in the same age that we die here on earth. So if I die at 40 years old, I will go to heaven and be 40 years old there forever. But if you would think about, would we still know each other there? So, it would really solve our worries if we would just think of it as a special where nothing really matters. I guess when we reach it, we won't be thinking about it. Have fun!
